[quote=Anonymous]OP, my sister is very similar, though she’s younger than your sister. I draw boundaries not because I think hitting rock bottom is helpful for her (there’s no research to support that), but because my family and my own health come before hers. I’ve offered help in the past in the form of contacts for mental health resources. She’s been in various forms of treatment too many times to count. I’m not living with her, I’m not driving her to treatment, I’m not financially supporting her, etc. You can offer what limited help you can, if you want to, but don’t feel guilty at all for prioritizing your spouse and children (and elderly parents) over her. Again, not because she should hit rock bottom or because she doesn’t deserve help, but because you can’t be her savior.[/quote]
